I like mine, My grandson loves it. All the kids like it best. Has a certain cool factor. I like to take mine camping. At night, you can use it to patrol your campsite, it never gets stuck. Chasing raccoons around the campsite is so much fun its giddy. Also chases snakes away. Unexpected use's and fun. Camping in snake areas, I I drive it in front of me, this can save your life if your a camper, hiker, explorer type.

Just back from my 2nd run with my TRX-6. Another 5 mile hard crawl/trail. This thing is truly sensational. Never had so many people completely flabergasted at what they were seeing ! It has eaten all my very special rocks as though it was a joke. It is on par with my very heavily modded GMade R1 on Hyrax. I crawl the Derbyshire Peak District. We also have great rocks for crawling. Your review finally made me have to get one so thanks Francis for recommending this fantasmagorical machine. 40 years of RC and this is my best vehicle of any description. He is called Brutus.

I bought it 4 months ago and absolutely love it. Only 30 days after purchase the servo broke and it had been under light and gentle use by then. I got a new servo and everything has been fun since then.

You got me wanting to go brushless in my trx6. It has been so much fun. Nice review and video. Thanks

You're welcome. It has fulfilled this vehicle's potential.

I purchased both the TRX 4 G500 for my lady & the TRX 6 for myself 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 I’ve upgraded both SERVOs & adding brushless to increase the fun factor later. Great trucks for parks & trails. 💯 Best RCs!!!

Great review. Having driven Unimogs in Europe while on deployment. I really wanted Axial’s rig to check all the boxes. But I thought they cut way too many corners and in the end I bought the TRX6 and so glad I did.

Watched again .. this is one of the top videos that helped me when deciding to get this truck after owning the Sport adventure and the Defender. Stock servo came with metal horn, but was out after 1.5 runs. Unreal -No I did not call traxxas, why bother😂

I am really starting to like this vehicle....definitely a future purchase......I want to say that I appreciate what you do on this channel. Myself, I am new to RC this year, and so far behind everyone on the knowledge of the electronics, chassis, suspensions, and RC's in general. So I started watching all of your videos because you take the time to talk about the vehicle as a whole.....you cover everything down to even the batteries & chargers...so I have save the videos that I think pertains to the direction that I have decided to go with starting my RC adventure......I have never seen or heard you say your name....I would like to get it so when I start doing my videos I can suggest to my future viewers, to check out your videos......again, I appreciate your honest opinions because they give those seeking answers a direction to go, and a chance to enjoy their RC's.

No comparison since this TRX-6 is 2-speed. TRX-6 tops out at first gear at 9mph. and that's about the speed of the Capra. At 2nd gear, 24 mph.

Yeah but crawlability, quality & looks.. the trx-6 seems alot better than axial’s 6x6. Not being axial hater as I own five axial vehicles And I just recently bought a trx4 sports kit.. the difference is huge in my experience. 👍🏽

Would be nice to see some speed/bash comparison with the capra 2300kv.

Both this and Axial's new Capra offer the same dilemma for me. The rock garden that I crawl in daily would offer zero challenge to either RC. And since I'm only a renter I cannot make such changes to the rock garden to make it challenging..

Nice vídeo! I’m new to the hobby and watched a lot of videos of the TRX6. So at one point, watching your videos, I was convinced that it was the one for me. Then I ordered one two days ago and can’t wait to get it. By the way, I’m thinking something funny: that’s mostly a scale model and a crawler, much like the real one, right? Well, considering the 1/10th scale at 9 mph top speed, that would equal 90 mph on the real one? Maybe that’s much more realistic than to go 20+mph with that particular model, don’t you think? Up to 9 mph it still moves like the real thing! What do you think? Thanks for all the tips. Liked and Subscribed!👍🏻

Really good ! Now we ask for a face to face match between Sport TRX4 and TRX6, both stock version (because upgrades changes to much any performance)... who will be the champion of crawlers ? Thanks for your job !

Thanks very, very much for the thorough evaluation, and mentioning the shortcomings, like electronics and steering servo. Of course they can hire engineers and select manufacturers to design and produce a superior product that doesn't have such glaring problems that will affect real-world performance and durability ... But we know why they do this: For higher profit margins, to support the aftermarket, and to appeal to prosumer OCD perfectionist types who enjoy co-dependent relationships with inanimate objects; a.k.a. hobbyists and collectors. You see this across several categories of luxury goods such as expensive mechanical watches; it plays on people's natural insecurities and allows one to rationalize avarice. Okay, maybe that last bit was a little over the top (pun intended) LOL! But seriously, great reviews and really appreciate your honesty, integrity, and logical minded approach! : )

did you change the esc or just the motor ?

is this running video without the hobbywing ?

It came with a metal steering servo horn. I guess later batch maybe....

How did you hook the Traxxas light module in with the Axe system given there is no JST plug on the Axe ESC?

@papachill

4 жыл бұрын

the traxxas light module can take up to 3s with no problem, you can connect it to a individual battery or a BEC

So, my takeaway is that it would be great if they put out either a roller chassis of this- a kit of this- or both.

The Traxxas is a much much better vehicle. The stock electronics will be fine for the first few months.

I know this is an old video but you might see my comment. When ever I watch a vid with a 6x6 in it, the truck looks awkward as it cantilevers and chews over stuff. It seams like it balances on its center axle which causes a loss of traction for ether other axle looking for traction. Those European 8x8’s Tatra’s etc don’t seem to bobble as much. It that observation just me or do you notice that too? I know they have rc Tatras but they cost a mint! Maybe you could find a good one and compare it to an 8x8.

Can someone please tell me weather this or the trx4 defender is best. Im so stuck on what to get. The trx6 sounds like one of the best but i cant get over the defenders looks

Buy a different radio... The issue here is that the stock radio does not have end point adjustment for the shifting servos so they rely on little servo savers to not over extend its travel, Eventually the weak plastic gears break. You can fix this for cheap by simply untighten the screws holding the shifting servos a little bit so they have a little play, But the ideal solution is to get a better radio overall that has end point adjustments.. You can get the fly sky GT5 radio for cheap, I am personally a stick user so I use the Fly Sky i6 (Air Radio) in my TR4/6 and it has 6 full channels with proper end points.
